  • Facebook page stealing photos

    I found out about this page from another site. Some of the photos are from jetphotos and other sites.



    Just to let you know on the forums.

      They even admit where they're taking the pictures from.

      Probably some stupid kid based on the mindless "guess the plane" crap he/she keeps posting.

      Seems like they stole the whole dang database. I gave up trying to go through them all.

        Yep. And then when people reply something his reply is "well how do you know". If that's the case, easy to deal with. Send him a DMCA takendown threatening legal action and/or calling the FBI and they get spooked.

                Looks like it's gone. The link doesn't work anymore or else they did something to make it where only members can see it. I don't use FB so I have no idea how it all works.

                  I just checked and it is still there. I tried to see if any of mine are in there but it took too long. I check through here with the photo statistics page but I don't know if that will help.

                    They must have put it back because it was not working earlier.

                      I put this comment up on their main page. Doubt it will make any difference but it felt good doing it.

                      Brian Whitelegg This Facebook page consists of images stolen from various websites, mostly www.jetphotos.net, www.airliners.net and www.planespotters net and some from www.plane-pictures.net. Such theft amounts to copyright theft and is prosecutable in a court of law. The administrator/s of this Facebook page would be well advised to remove all images that they cannot show written proof of permission to use from the various individual photographers.

                          I already contacted one of the photogs there (FDX777) to let him know about his photo being used. I've kept an eye on the page to see if any of my stuff pops up so I can send Facebook a DMCA takedown notice.

                              I was looking at their front page. Either I'm going daft or it's an optical illusion but it looks like this Qatar 787 has a left wing approximately 1/3rd shorter than the right wing ????
